Hello! This is my first time posting on this site, and I hope to use it more often, so if you think I could have structured this any better, please let me know!

I started this build last ~June, after finally convincing myself I could do it. Too bad I was a 15 year old that had a little money after my birthday. So after buying the case, the RAM, and a mousepad, I was out of money. I've got a list of what I'm going to buy, and what I have bought. (Below)

I really want to just make sure that everything is going to work together, and there won't be any bottlenecking. Even if you know it works, but you think I would benefit more from switching with another part, I would really appreciate you telling me.

This build is going to mainly be for gaming, with some (very basic) coding and movie watching.

Goal: All parts bought by July '14

Everything looks good except the PSU and Graphics card. Either go for a R9 270 or a GTX 760.

Also you could consider going haswell at the same price as the ivy bridge. Nothing major performance wise, but why not get newer system?

For the PSU I'd reccomend either a XFX 550W or a Good quality 750W PSU if you plan to sli.
